VERMILLIoN, Sept 23.-The univer-
sity for South Dakota. located at that
place, appears to be doing well under a
Democratic administration. The chair
man of the board of trustees of this in
StitutiOn is Hon. D. M. Inman, we'll
known as the Democratic sage of Yer
million. Mr.. Inman has taken an active
interest in the school. and through his
efforts some great and valuable changes
have been brought about this year. Mr..
1nman took a trip down East, looking
after competent man to fill the office
of president of the university. 1t is
quite reliably stated that Gov. Pierce
was not solicited to take the place. But
instead very competent and worthy
gentleman has been secured in the per-
son of Prof. Olsen. He is Norwegian,
highly educ ated and gifted, and speaks
English as tluently as if he had been
reputation of being one of the
first instructors in the West.
and his work SO far in the school evil
dences it. He is ably assisted by an en-
tirely new and thoroughly competent
set of teachers. The whole school has
been changed and improved, until it is
not to be recognized as it's former self.
1t has undergone the true idea of Demo-
cratic change. The board, besides put
ting the school in good running order,
has commenced the building of a girls
dormitOry, which is well under way al
ready. 1t will be beautiful structure,
and, in addition to the main building,
will put the school pretty we'll off for
room accommodations. The school is
free to all, and there is no cost for
tuition. ALI the expenses are borne by
the territory. 1t is bound to be, at no
distant day, one OF tn e important educa-
tiOnal institutions of the country. School
opened the 21st of this month with a
fair attendance. Thus we find educa-
ton not neglected under Democratic
administration.

OPENING THE RESERVATION.
Senator Dawes Writes a Letter to
Hon. B. G. CaulfieId Regarding
tho NToffoy,

Hon. b. G. Caulfield Regarding
the Matter.
Special to the Globe.
DEADwooD, Sept. 23.-The Deadwood
papers publish letter recently received
by Hon. B. G.. Caulfeld from Senator
Dawes, on the subject of the opening of
the Sioux reservation. The senator
holds the view that the bill which is gen.
stand much better chance of passage
than new bill. 1t is not perhaps un-
natural that the senator should favor
his own rather than another bill, but it
may be that by reading between the
lines of his letter suspicion will arise
that new bill introduced for the same
purpose may not even receive his sup
port. The Dawes bill, after its many
amendments and changes, bears very
little resemblance to the Davis bill as
originally introduced. 1t is considered
faulty by those who have given the
reservation question deepest considera-
ton: 1t was supported during the last
session of congress by such people simply
ter bill could not be passed, and that
the demand of lot of Indian worship
ers having been complied with in
amending and re-amending the bill
it might be pushed through. And yet
the bill failed. That Senator Dawes
still favors this bill most strongly is
made very evident in the following ex-
tract from his letter to Mr.. CaulfieId:
If those enemies are at work in Dakota to
divert support from 1t to any other plan, they
are not, in my opinion, working for the true
interests of the territory of Dakota. That, or
some bill substantially like it. is the only
that can pass congress, and all attempts to
those contained therein will only result In an
indefnate postponement Of the project of
opening the reservation to white people.

Col. WOodfOrd, to enliven their cam
paign this week, he promises to appear
on the 25th, and meantime they rejoice
in accessions from an unexpected quar-
ter-a class of saloonkeepers who think
they cannot stand high license. They
are said to be in favor of local option,
on the assurance from prominent at
torneys that it will not stand; that is
special legislation, prohibited by the
act of congress, and that the legislature
cannot delegate such authority to the
people. They expect to break down
license by carrying local option and
then sell without license, and defeat
attempts to enforce the law. If their
view is correct the selling will go on
and the treasury derive no benefit. 1t
will make fat fees for some of the attor-
neys, whether their theory holds or not.

A London Expert, From the w ell
Known House of j. Taylor &
Son, Examining the Harvey
Peak COmpany's Properties.
RAPID CITY, Sept. 23.-Sensational-
ism and truth-paring seem not to be con-
fined to American newspapers when it
comes to talk about Black Hills matters.
The London papers, that turned them
selves loose to defeat the sale of the
Harvey Peak Tin Mines in England,
announced not long since, with great
flourish of their little blossoms of de-
struction," that they had killed the UNI
dertaking, and that the money already
subscribed and paid in on the stock
had been returned to the subscribers,
scheme and returned to America. This
seems now to have been all false, eX-
cept the last specification. Mr.. Wilson
did return to this country, but he was
accompanied by party of the largest
subscribers and one of the world-es-
teemed mining firm of j. Tay-
lor & Son, London. And they
are all now in the Hills eX-
amining the properties of the Harvey
Peak company, in the interests of the
$1O,0O0.O00 stock undertaking, which
the English and American ''vested in
terests'' in British tin plate announced
to be so dead. Furthermore, the very
papers that asseverated, of their own
knowledge, that the money subscribed
had all been returned, now say
THAT IT WAS NOT WITHDRAWN,
but remains in the hands of the Ameri-
san party and will be forfeited if the
sale does not go through. Hence, they
dOlefully argue, this yankee fraud''
has in favor of its final contamination
large sum of British money pledged to
it and it may succeed after all! And
they do not vouchsafe any explanation
of their previous positive representa-
lions to the contrary, either. Mr.. Tay-
lor will have for his data of observation
several hundred acres of tin claims,
showing outcroppings of ore covering a
stretch of about twenty miles; many
tunnels and shafts by which the veins
have been exploited in places to
depth of 200 feet, with no disap-
pointing revelations below to contra
dict the promise of the surface indica-
tons; a rock bearing two or three times
the per cent. of cassiterite more than
those that are probably worked in the
old country; ample water power, prlvl-
legeS and sites; timber and fuel abund-
ant, growing just ON the claims and to
be had for no price but the cutting; and
a heavy protective tariff to promote the
upbuilding of the now-unknown Ameri-
can industry of tin mining, milling and
manufacturing in all its branches. Of
the impartiality, honesty and ability of
the London expert, who is examining
the Dakota tin claims, there can be no
doubt. Taylor IL Sons name to report
settles it, at least in Europe. There
fore wp shall CnOO have a pOpn1nSiya

THE SCOTT-DONAN DUEL.

A Citizen of DeadwoOd Who

To the Editor of the Globe.
DEADwOOD. OAK, Sept. al have
recently been somewhat surprised to see
copied in a number of the Black Hills
papers and credited to your usually ac-
curate paper, silly statement of Dan
Scott's about duel with Col. Pat
Donan. Dan must have been a little
''Of" when he told this yarn. In his
story Dan speaks of Col. DOMAIN striking
for the depot and taking the first train
out of town. AS there was not then a
railroad OF railroad depot in less than
800 miles of Deadwood, and as there is
none nearer now than the Northwest

to Rapid City. the falsehood is self-ap-
parent.

the DeadwoOd Press retract statement
to which he objected, and publish their
retraction. When he left Deadwood the
town was Illuminated with torchlights
and bOnfireS; a mass meeting of the
citizens was held; speeches were made;
he was serenaded at his hotel; ban
quet was given him, and resolutions of
the highest commentator were passed
and published in all the papers of Dead
wood, including the Times, on which
Dan Scott was then sensational re-
porter.

life in the hills, and as / knew him well

right to make this explanation.

SIOUX FALLS, Sept. 23.-The question

or not the treasurer has the power to
sell real estate for back personal taxes.
The law which was passed in 1877, MAKE
ing personal taxes lien on real estate,
was carelesSly injected into the statute.
and the law was mott in any way changed
to provide for the enforcement of the
lien. Personal taxes have been allowed
to accumulate here so that thousands of
dollars of personal taxes are now due
many running back to 70 and II. The
treasurer has advertised to sell lands,
and there promises to be tempest in

the matter is settled. NJ. GrigSby, of

to collect these taxes. He says the de-

Crow LAKE, OAK, Sept. 25.-The re-
cent cancellation of the homestead entry
of n. E. Williams on 13-106-65, Mitchell
land district, after his continuous resi-
dence for over five and half years, and
after final proof had been accepted at
the Mitchell land Office, is creating very
great excitement. Mr.. Williams still re-
mains, and expects to do SO. His claim,
with improvements, is now valued at
from $4,000 to $1,000. He has more than
100 acres under cultivation, one of the
best improved farms in Jerauld county.
The cause of cancellation is supposed
to be Mr.. Williams absence during the
first winter while he was single man.
He was absent for four months, and
earned some money teaching to enable
him to make improvements. He COM
menced with but very little, and by
strict attention to his farm he has gained
quite a competency. Mr.. Williams will
either appeal from Commissioner
Sparks cancellation, or syndicate will
take hold of the matter and bring some
kind of a suit to compel the government
to issue a patent.
